Default Change The Name Of TG News Bot

I feel like such a loser replying to a bot. How about Ron Burgundy?

Huey Lewis?

Y U NO LIKE PAPERBOY?

I had considered going with a character like Ron Burgundy, but wasn't sure if that'd help take away from some of the professionalism that we're going for. Not that the 8-bit Paperboy exemplifies professionalism.

Let's meet in the middle.

I named him TG Paperboy since that sounds way better than TG News Bot ;-)
